King of the Pack Penrith

King of the Pack in Penrith, New South Wales, is your typical local tobacconist with a bit of a twist. They’ve got all your usual tobacco essentials like cigarettes and rolling papers, but what makes them stand out is their impressive selection of non-alcoholic beverages and bargain coffee options. We’ve heard some locals rave about their dollar and two-dollar coffees, which is pretty hard to beat these days.

The staff here are generally a friendly bunch, and visitors say they’re always up for a chat. Some regulars mention there might even be the occasional discount for locals, though you’d have to ask about that yourself. They’re also known for stocking card games, which is a nice little bonus if you’re into that sort of thing.

When it comes to pricing, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some visitors reckon the tobacco products are on the pricier side, but they make up for it with competitive drink prices. It’s worth keeping an eye on what you’re paying, as we’ve heard from some customers who were surprised by the final bill. Like most tobacconists these days, they accept all standard payment methods including EFTPOS, card, and cash.

The store keeps pretty reasonable hours, opening from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday. They wind things down a bit earlier on Saturday, closing at 6pm, and on Sunday they’re open from 9am to 5pm. Worth noting though, we’ve heard from a few customers that they sometimes run out of stock on certain items, so you might want to call ahead if you’re after something specific.

The shop has become a bit of a local fixture, and while it mightn’t be the cheapest option in town for everything, it’s got its loyal following. The combination of friendly service and those dirt-cheap coffees seems to keep people coming back. Just remember to check your prices if you’re watching your wallet, and maybe grab one of those famous budget-friendly beverages while you’re there.
